All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Ford Bronco Sport (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Ford Bronco (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The Curt 56462 is a powered converter wiring harness designed for SUVs and vans. It converts a vehicle's factory taillight signals to a 4-flat trailer connector, allowing you to tow a trailer with standard lighting. The system works with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems only.
The Curt 56462 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models or years. Check your vehicle owner's manual to confirm it has a 12-volt negative ground system, or contact the vehicle manufacturer. The battery location may differ depending on your vehicle.
No. The converter system is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. It cannot be used on 24-volt systems or vehicles with positive ground electrical systems.
You will need: ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, panel trim removal tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, cutting tool, electrical tape, and a fish wire (which can be made from a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string). The manual rates installation difficulty as Easy.
The kit includes: a black converter box, custom wiring harness with yellow, green, white and black wires, double-sided tape for mounting the converter, cable ties for securing wires, a ground screw, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a 4-flat dust cover, and a fuse holder with 15-amp fuse.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal in the engine compartment on the driver side before beginning installation. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
Open the hatch. Between the taillight and the weather seal, there is a rubber and plastic taillight trim. Use your fingers or a panel trim removal tool to remove this straight back. Use a 10mm socket to remove the two nuts securing the taillight. Pull the taillight straight back; you may need a panel trim removal tool to loosen the alignment tabs. Locate the taillight wiring connectors and separate them from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat on the other side.
Fish wire is a tool used to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole. It can be made from a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string. Insert the fish wire through the blind hole and locate it on the other side. Use tape to secure the harness to the fish wire and pull back up. If the fish wire or harness gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it. Make sure the wire is long enough to stick out on the other side.
Use a fish wire to pull the harness with the yellow wire up between the body of the vehicle and the bumper cover on the driver side. Insert the custom wiring end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat the process on the passenger side with the green wire, routing it along the rear bumper to the passenger side taillight opening.
Locate a flat spot under the vehicle on the driver side and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and flat to ensure the tape adheres properly.
Not necessarily. Locate a grounding point near the converter box, such as an existing screw or bolt in the frame of the vehicle. If no suitable existing fastener is available, you may drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint; use an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If you need to drill a hole for the ground screw, drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
When passing the 12-gauge power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. This prevents the wire from being damaged and reduces the risk of electrical shorts or fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. The kit includes a fuse holder with a 15-amp fuse. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Exceeding the 15-amp rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Signal circuits (left and right turn): 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
The power wire must be 12-gauge or larger. Route the 12-gauge wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Yellow wire: Left turn signal. Green wire: Right turn signal. Red wire: Brake signal. Brown wire: Taillight/running lights. Black wire: Power (positive battery connection). White wire: Ground (negative connection to vehicle chassis).
Route the black 12-gauge power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter location, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect it from sharp edges. Connect the ring terminal of the power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. Install the 15-amp fuse in the fuse holder after all other steps are complete.
Attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body using the provided ground screw. Locate a grounding point near the converter box, such as an existing screw or bolt in the frame. If no suitable fastener exists, drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint; use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with the provided ground screw.
If using the converter as a powered module for a two-wire system, the red brake wire must be grounded. This ensures proper brake signal operation in a two-wire trailer lighting configuration.
Before drilling any holes, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32-inch ground hole, as there may be wiring, fuel lines, or other components behind the surface.
After connecting the 12-volt power wire to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. This confirms that all signal circuits (left turn, right turn, brake, and taillight) are working properly before towing.
After all wiring is complete and tested: reinstall all items removed during installation (taillight trim, taillights, and any panels); reconnect the negative battery terminal; and install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion of the trailer connector.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the 4-flat connector and all wiring regularly, especially before towing. Keep the connector covered with the provided dust cover when not in use to prevent corrosion.
The Curt 56462 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Confirm your vehicle has a 12-volt negative ground system in your owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all wiring is complete and the 15-amp fuse is installed.
Drilling is not required if you can use an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame for the ground connection. If no suitable fastener exists, drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
Use 12-gauge wire or larger for the power connection from the battery to the converter.
If the fish wire or harness gets hung up on something during routing, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it from what it is caught on. Ensure the fish wire is long enough to stick out on the other side before pulling. If it remains stuck, carefully reverse the process and try a different route or angle.
